Hi all - I'm a new arrival here and like what I see. I read in several threads that folks are having trouble with the cheap way technics made the music stands on the KN5000. I too had the problems with the plastic part popping off the wire stand. I much preferred the welded metal stand that I had with my old KN2000 which I traded in on the KN5000 - but there is an easy fix. I went to my local hardware store and got a couple of those plastic "Zip Strips" for lack of a better term, black in color. I drilled an 1/8 inch hole in the plastic tray just inside where it clips onto the wire rack and used a zip strip on each side to keep it fastened permanently. It hasn't failed me yet and only cost about a dollar to accomplish. I don't think that drilling the little holes in the plastic has comprimised the strength or integrity of that part enough to be a concern. Hope this helps someone out there.
